1. Introduction to Google Cloud Observability
Read more
In this module, we will take some time to do a high-level overview of the various products which comprise Google Cloud's logging, monitoring, and observability suite.
2. Monitoring Critical Systems
Monitoring is all about keeping track of exactly what's happening with the resources we've spun up inside of Google's Cloud. In this module, we'll take a look at options and best practices as they relate to monitoring project architectures. We'll differentiate the core IAM roles needed to decide who can do what as it relates to monitoring. Just like architecture, this is another crucial early step. We will examine some of the Google created default dashboards, and see how to use them appropriately. We will create charts and use them to build custom dashboards to show resource consumption and application load. And, finally, we will define uptime checks to track liveliness and latency.
3. Alerting Policies
Alerting gives timely awareness to problems in your cloud applications so you can resolve the problems quickly. In this module, you will learn how to develop alerting strategies, define alerting policies, add notification channels, identify types of alerts and common uses for each, construct and alert on resource groups, and manage alerting policies programmatically.
4. Advanced Logging and Analysis
In this module, we will examine some of Google Cloud's advanced logging and analysis capabilities. Specifically, in this module you will learn to identify and choose among resource tagging approaches, define log sinks, create monitoring metrics based on log entries, link application errors to Logging and other operation tools using Error Reporting, and export logs to BigQuery for long term storage and SQL based analysis.
5. Working with Audit Logs
In this module, we will examine how to use Cloud Audit logs. You will learn how to use Cloud Audit logs to answer the question, “Who, did what, and when?” We will also cover best practices for Audit Logging.
6. Course Summary
We will summarize the topics covered in this couse.
